摘要
The Schottky photodetector was fabricated on GaN epilayers grown by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). The spectral response of the Schottky photodetector was characterized. A new model is proposed to interpret the characteristic of the spectral response curve of the Schottky photodetectors by introducing a penetrating distance of an incident light at a certain wavelength in the current continuity equation and the interface recombination at the metal-semiconductor rectifying contact. The expressions for the spectral response of the Schottky photodetector are deduced and used successfully to fit the experimental data.
